Musically Messy Creative Collaboration
Professional Flautist Visit
This was part of our term's immersive, sensory music and art topic - our 'Musically Messy Creative Collaboration. This project brought together all our families and the wider community (Tesco, ScrewFix, local garages and builder merchants) to emphasise the importance of messy play in early childhood. One of our Mummies is a professional flautist and has played in orchestra's all around the world. She came into Nursery to share her passion for music and helped us learn all about woodwind instruments.
Exploring Woodwind
We began our learning with the book 'Meet the Orchestra' by Ann Haynes and we explored the 4 orchestral families. To help us find out more about the different woodwind instruments, we were lucky to be able to hear, see and try a clarinet, flute and a saxophone. One of our teacher's grown up daughter came to play her saxophone for us.
Playground Orchestra
We used our imaginations to build a stage for our own orchestra. Once it was ready we became the musicians and the audience!
